I received my headligths from Ross Benedict and they look great.
During assembly of the burner, I am in doubt what is the correct position of the "Y":

Position of burner
Hi,
I received my headligths from Ross Benedict and they look great.
During assembly of the burner, I am in doubt what is the correct position of the "Y": I believe "A" is the right?

Image A. Front to back.
You should not see the Y from the front.

Re: Position of burner
Isn’t the point of the “A” configuration to cause the gas streams, when they hit each other, to create a wide/broad flame for greater reflected illumination?

Re: Position of burner
To help line up the burner,
I use a dab of pipe dope on the threads of the burner base
to keep the acetylene from leaking around base of the burner.
I like my burners "snug" on the base but not so tight I can't reach
in there with my fingers and line up the flame when lit.
I have a burner that makes a great flame but is crooked relative to the Mangin.
Slight twist of the burner lines the flame up and it stays put.

Re: Position of burner
“A” is correct for getting the most light and is the way they were originally aligned. However, with whatever is in there in place of a reflector, it is doubtful that the headlamps will produce enough light to drive by no matter what you do.
